I To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HORACE H. HAs'nNos, a British subject, residing at Toronto, county of York, Ontario, Canada,have in- Venteda certain new and useful Improvement in Hydrocarbon-Burners, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyin drawings, which form a part of this speci cation.

My invention relates to hydrocarbon burners shown in the accompanying drawings and more particularly described in the following specification and claims.

, The object of the present invention is to provide'a'burner especially designed for use in cookingfstoves, ranges, or for other pur- 20 poses where a fuel burner of this type may be employed.

Another object of the invention is to provide a humor, of simple and inexpensive construction, adjustable for installation in fire pots of varying widths and lengths.

Other advantages and improvements will hereafter appear. I

In the drawings accompanying this specification: Figure 1, is a perspective view of the burner indicating in dotted lines a block closing the corner openings between the adjustable end and side members. Fig. 2, is a vertical cross sectional 'view through the burner. Fig. 3, is a perspective view of the corner block shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

. Fig. 4, is a vertical sectional view through the fire pot of a range and the burner, showingkthe latter connected with a fuel supply tan Referring now to the letters of reference placed upon the drawings: A, denotes a cooking stove or range.

13, indicates the fire pot, and B, its grate.

C, C, are-the lids of the cooking top of the stove or range.

D, denotes the burner, comprising a bottom plate E, divided at E, whereby the priming cups E E may be adjusted 'to. register with the center of the respective lid openings of the cooking top of the stove.

E E are annular cones extending upwardly from the bottom of the priming cups- Specification of Letters Patent. Application nee may 29, 1915. Serial No. 5,130.

lower ends with the fuel pipe F, leading to the oil reservoir F.

F is a valve to control the delivery of oil from the discharge end f, of the pipes.

G, G, are adjustable end plates secured to the bottom plate E, by he ts g, projecting through slots g, in the plate. By adjusting the end plates, the bottom plate may be Patented Nov. 16, 1915.

adapted to fit different lengths of fire pot the burner being supported by the inclined walls of the fire pot ;other means however may be provided to support the burner if required.

H, H, are swinging side strips hinged at h, to the bottom plate E. The swinging strips may be replaced by others of greater or less length if it should become necessary to adjust the respective portions of the burner that they may, a register centrally with the openings in the stove ;-or the side strips may be divided, as indicated in the drawings to provide for a lengthwise adjustment when required."

I, is an air flue leading from the central opening E to the respective portions of the burner on each side thereof. It will be noted that the air flue is .of sectional construction, and comprises a central T-shaped flue I, sleeved into the L-shaped members 1 1 respectively covering. the discharge end f, of the burners.

e, e, are end lugs integral with the bottom plate E. e, e, are similar lugs at the sides of the plate, the purpose of the several lugs.

, range or stove, the respective portions of the burner are adjusted so as to register with the center of the respective cooking top openings above the fire pot. After locating the burner at the proper altitude the strips G, G, are adjusted to impinge against the inclined end walls of the fire pot thereby supporting the burner in position and cutting off the passage of air at the ends of the fire pot. The side strips H, H, are then inclined to bear against the side walls of the pot, and the blocks J inserted in the res ective corner openings. Cement is then aid between the several joints to provide against the passage of air except through the central opening E in the bottom plate. A small quantity of sand, or material of like nature, is placed in the priming cups E E to receive the oil delivered .to the respective cups upon opening the valve F. A small volume of oil is then admitted to the cups and ignited: inducing an air current through the central opening E toward the d1scharge'orifice of the respective portions of the moving liquid fuel, converting the latter into gas or vapor which being ignited heats the air passing through the flue I. After the formation of gas has been established the proper delivery of fuel to the burner may be controlled by the adjustment of the valve F Having thus described my invention what claim is I l. A burner of the character described, comprising a base plate having a central air inlet orifice, a pair of annular priming cups integral with the base respectively spaced on opposite sides of the air inlet aperture, an annular cone rising from the base in each of said cups and integral therewith, a fuel nozzle extending up through each of said cones, a'fuel supply pipe connected with said nozzles and with a source of fuel supply, a valve to control'the delivery of fuel, and an adjustable air flue leading from the central inlet orifice in the base'plate,-

above, and to each burner.

2. A burner of the character described, comprising an adjustable base plate having a central air inlet orifice, a pair of priming cups integral With the base one on each side of the central orifice, a fuel nozzle extending up through each of said priming cups, a

fuel supply pipe connected with each of the fuel nozzles, means for controlling the delivery of fuel through the pipe, an'adjustable air flue connected with the air inlet oriurner Where it meets the upwardly.

fice leading to, and surrounding the respective fuel discharge nozzles, and adjustable side and end extensions connected with the base late, whereby said burner may be fitted to re pots of various dimensions.

3. A burner of the character described, comprising an adjustable base plate having a central air inlet orifice, a pair of priming cups integral with the base one on each side of the central orifice, a fuel nozzle extending up through each of said priming cups, a fuel supply pipe connected With each of the fuel nozzles, means for controlling the delivery of fuel through the pipe, an adjustable air flue connected with the air inlet orifice leading to, and surrounding the respective fuel discharge nozzles, adjustable side and end extensions connected with the base plate, whereby said burner maybe fitted to fire pots of various dimensions, and means for closing the corner openings between the adjustable side and end extensions.

4. In a burner of the character described, an adjustable base plate having a central air inlet orifice, a priming cup integral with the base spaced from each side of the central orifice, fuel discharge nozzles projecting up through the priming cups, means for supplying oil to the fuel nozzles, an adjustable telescoping air inlet flue'leading from the inlet orifice, to the fuel nozzles, and means for controlling the delivery of fuel to the nozzles.

5. In a burner of the character described,

an adjustable base plate having a central air inlet orifice, a priming cup integral with the base spaced from each side of the central orifice, fuel nozzles leading up through the priming cups, a pipe connecting the nozzles with a source of fuel supply, an adjustable telescoping air inlet flue leading from the inlet orifice to, and surrounding the fuel nozzles, and means for controlling the delivery of fuel to the nozzles.

In testimony whereof, I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses. I
